Statues


Statues provide a three-dimensional solution to your home decorating needs. Statues provide a classic, enduring look in your home or garden.

Express Your Style

Statues for the home and garden come in a large variety of styles, shapes and sizes. You can find statues of animals from tiny, peaceful doves to roaring lions. Whether you are a believer in angels or the Buddha, there is a wide variety of religious statues to help create a sanctuary in your garden.

It is possible to find children statues in various poses and of people representing world cultures from Asia to Africa. And of course, there is always the trusty old garden gnome if you are going for classic kitsch.

Some people prefer statues with a historical design perspective. For those people, gargoyles and griffins such as those found on ornate older buildings are a good option. In addition, columns representing any major architectural style are available for those looking for a more simple statue for their homes or gardens.

Materials

When purchasing a statue for the home, it is important to think very carefully about what material would be appropriate. Will the statue be outside throughout the year? Will you want to move the statue often? Do you think you will be moving soon?

Statues can be made from heavy, durable materials like stone or brass. Because of their weight and cost, stone statues are a good choice for those who are making a semi-permanent design decision. However, there are other choices, such as aluminum, fiberglass, and other manufactured materials, that give the look of classic materials with a lighter weight and a lower cost.

Price Range

Spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on huge, heavy, beautiful pieces for your home or garden is definitely possible, and your investment will give you years of enjoyment. You can also get many lightweight, smaller fiberglass pieces for less than one hundred dollars.
